    Lean Cusine frozen meals are a great idea but it seems as though they've fallen into the same trap as other microwaveable meals. The meat is a little rubbery so next time I'll be trying a vegetarian option. After eating around the meat (I'm a very picky eater) I was pleased by the quality of veggies and the taste of the sauce. Will definitely buy again

    I love the convenience of a quick meal on the go and this fits the bill. Lean Cuisine is easy to prepare and ready in minutes. I like to eat these for a lunch or a quick snack. They are very flavorful and good value for your money.

    I received my coupon to review this product, choose thai chicken, brown rice sweet baby corn and vegetables, likethat the sauce was seperated , overall very tasty but did find the portion a bit to small and the price a bit to high.

    I received a coupon to try and review Lean Cuisine Fresh Inspirations for free. I chose Chicken
    Teriyaki with brown rice, snap peas and a vegetable medley. I definitely think it is a step up from the ordinary frozen meals. There was lots of chicken and the vegetables were crispy and quite tasty. The brown rice was perfectly cooked and not mushy or hard. I also like having the option of eating the chicken and sauce separately if that's what I want to do. The teriyaki sauce however, is the same old same old that I've had a thousand times before in all the teriyaki frozen meals. It would be nice if they had kicked it up a notch. Perhaps add a little ginger or something that would separate it from all the other frozen meals out there. I would also like to see a lot more veggies. They are low in calories, tasty and they fill you up. At almost $4 a serving I think this is a reasonable request. Overall, the Lean Cuisine Fresh Inspirations is very good and I will likely purchase it again for a quick meal.

    I received the coupon for Lean Cuisine Fresh Inspirations to try and review the product. I purchased Chicken Teriyaki with brown rice and snap peas. I rarely buy frozen entrees because I find chicken tastes rubbery and artificial but chicken in this meal tasted pretty good. Their was an assortment of vegetables including broccoli, carrots and snap peas and they were crunchy just the way I like it. Over all it was a very tasty meal and filling as well. It is a bit expensive than the other frozen meals but then you get what you pay for. I would not buy any other frozen meal as I am a picky eater and don't like frozen food much but I would certainly recommend this one.

    Well I have to say that I am impressed! I selected the 'Chicken Teriyaki' with brown rice,snap peas & vegetable medley. I'm not usually a fan of frozen entrees similiar to this because the veges a usually sub-par, tough & chewy. All of the veges in this entree were cooked beautifully with the snap peas still having their classic crunch! Great flavourful carrots, broccoli & red peppers came to life with the delicious teriyaki sauce. The rice was slightly mushy but still edible (I have had worse!). There was more than enough to satisfy my lunchtime hunger so I would consider it a good value for the money. I would definitely purchase this one again...and look forward to trying the other flavours of Fresh Inspirations that are available! Thanks for the opportunity to try this wonderful product!!

    I received a coupon through the product tester club to try and review Lean Cuisine Fresh inspirations. I tried the Thai chicken (Love Thai food!) . I was really impressed that there were two separate packets that the food was in. This kept the veggies a great texture and not soggy like most microwave meals. The portion size was a lot bigger than most microwave dinners and it is way better for you in both taste and nutritional value! I really liked it but it was a bit more pricy than other microwave meals. You get what you pay for! :)

    I recieved the free coupon to try this product as a part of the Product Review Club. Thank you very much. I love trying new products!

    I selected the shrimp alfredo. I heated it up follow by the instruction on the box. I did not pierce film followed by the instruction but before the 3 minutes was up, the plastic film popped in the microwave. There was no explosion though. For the taste, I think it was a bit bland but the shrimp were really tasty and they are big! Compare to other frozen meals that I have tried, I never seen any brand has shrimp this big before. When the cooking part complete, the food was evenly cooked not too hot not too cold, just right temperature.

    I like that it gives me choices to choose as much sauce as I like to mix it or I can just keep it separate.
    I probably buy this product again. I think it is good to have to at home when you want to eat something quick and just the right amount.

    Thank you very much for this opportunity. :)

    ~I received a coupon for this item in order to test/review~

    I bought the Chicken Teriyaki.

    Initially, I was quite surprised by the size/amount of packaging with this product. I find it difficult to fathom that they couldn't get it in a smaller box/containers with less waste, however, this alone would not prevent me from buying it again (but it would affect the space in my freezer!).
    The instructions were very easy to follow. I liked that you could add as much sauce/chicken as you'd like. The flavour was very nice and the chicken/vegetables were cooked/steamed well. I found the chicken slightly rubbery (but not even close to most microwaved chicken meals though!). I found this product very similar in taste/quality to the Healthy Choice steamers, so the only thing that would really sway me between the two would be price. (This one was slightly higher where I purchased it).
    Yes, I would definitely recommend this to a friend and would purchase it again.
